Petting Farm October 17, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — vanderroest03 @ 9:35 am

This past Tuesday had a wonderful forecast, 70 degrees and sunny.  So I decided that it was time to take a trip to Clark’s Elioak Farm.  I called Kelly in the morning to see if she wanted to meet us, and she was in!  We started the visit with a walk through the Enchanted Forest Maze.  This was something that we had never done before, and the kids loved it.

Rachael particularly loved Sleeping Beauty’s house where she lived until she was 16 years old!!  Wow!!

The Turtle and the Hare is the other story that the kids got a kick out of.  Rachael and AJ sat on the turtle and Isabella left goldfish for the hare to eat when he woke up from his nap.

When we finished the maze, we headed over to pet the animals.  We started with the goats, which the kids loved because they were able to fed them.  Kaitlyn hung back and watched.

After feeding the sheep, we headed for the hand washing station so that we could go on a tractor ride.  The kids loved the ride as we went through some woods and fields.  It was a little sunny for AJ,  so he wore my sunglasses.

We then went back to the petting farm and saw the pigs, donkeys, et.  We actually saw a 16 lb bunny as well.  Pretty crazy.  To end the petting farm, we visited with some very friendly goats.

And as it goes, my camera ran out of batteries.  But the kids enjoyed themselves as they each picked out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.  It was delightful to be outside on such a beautiful day.  The kids cannot wait to go back again soon!
